Description - Our Designer Series Slate Flex tiles provide you with the same great quality and benefits as our standard Slate Flex tiles, but in a larger form. This beautiful collection of tiles features several colors that are to die for. From hardy Earth Tones to the Bright and Bold, we are sure you will find a color that will match any room’s décor. Since these interlocking tiles are made from flexible PVC plastic, they present a softer, warmer and more comfortable alternative to natural stone or ceramic. But not only are our tiles built to look great, they have also been built to last, being backed by an industry leading 25 year warranty.

Note: Flex tile colors are produced in batches, which can lead to color variations in your order. All colors may present some color variation, but Black, Dark Grey and Light Grey can produce the most. These three colors can vary greatly between batches and thus it is recommended that you order more flooring than is needed for mistakes and replacements. This in turn gives you the greatest chance to keep continuity across your floor. Batching will also affect color variation between samples and your order with Black, Dark Grey and Light Grey showing the most variation.

Material – Slate pattern tiles are constructed entirely of a proprietary blend of flexible PVC that guarantees a durable, vibrant, and attractive low cost floor tile solution. This material also ensures that the tiles are flexible in order to have the anti-fatigue flooring qualities often associated with rubber flooring but also the long wear life and chemical resistance associated with PVC tiles.

Size – 20" x 20" (6 Tiles per Case)

Thickness – 0.197" (5.0mm)

Weight – 4.1 Lbs. per tile

Designer Series tiles are low maintenance and easy to clean. Cleaning of these interlocking tiles typically consists of:

Sweeping any loose dirt, dust, or debris from the vinyl floor tiles when necessary.

Periodic damp mopping of the tiles with a mild soap and water solution. Some common soaps often used are dish detergents and tide laundry detergent.

Due to each tile being coated with a protectant silicone sealant, the tiles may become scuffed or scratched during the installation process or while moving large objects. To help reduce the appearance of scratches or scuff marks we recommend using Armstrong’s Shine Keeper.

Note: This is not a stain proof product. Street tar can cause staining to light colored tiles and in most instances this staining can be remedied with a cleaner called Purple Power. If you have performance tires, staining can occur with light colored tiles. In most instances this may not be remedied with a cleaner. If the staining on your floor does not dissipate, please contact our dedicated Customer Service team at 800-613-0996 who can further assist you.

Installation of interlocking tiles is very simple and typically done by the consumer. Typical installation of these tiles is as follows:

First, clean your sub floor so it is free of all dirt, grease or debris.

Snap a chalk line on the sub floor 20” from one wall in your room. Snap another chalk line on the subfloor 20” from an adjacent wall. You should now have a pair of perpendicular lines making an approximate 90-degree angle.

Begin laying the interlocking tiles along the chalk lines, snapping the locks together as you go.

Leave the perimeter of the room open until the field is installed.

After the field is covered, go back and cut in lines along the walls in the room. Leaving a gap at the wall roughly the thickness of tiles being used is recommended to account for expansion and contraction of the floor tiles in varied temperature ranges.

Note: When piecing interlocking tiles together, adhesives are usually not used since the weight of the locked together product is usually enough to keep the floor tiles from moving. However, if you do experience movement and would like to ensure that the tiles do not slide at all, some double-sided tape or mat tape can be used around the perimeter of the installation to prevent any movement.

LOVE the tiles! So very clean looking, no grout lines, no bulges just seamless tiles that look like ceramic tile in the garage! We hired a crew to install the tiles because we didn't have the time or energy to do it ourselves but this crew of 5 had this knocked out in 4 hours. The only unfortunate thing was we were short a case and had to reorder one. They tell you that the darker tiles have a color difference but so do the lighter ones. We have black tiles under the cars and tan ones along the sides of the garage just to break up all the black. We were short a case of tan so reordered it and there's a noticeable color difference but it's the garage, right? The black hides dirt great but does show water stains from rain dripping off the car but cleans like ceramic tile, just a swipe with the Swifer wet jet and it's all done. Vacuums like a dream too. We are very pleased with the product. One other caveat... if you live in a subdivision with narrow streets, a commercial carrier won't be able to access your property to deliver the tiles. Each box contained 6 tiles, looks like pizza boxes but kind of heavy! We had to courier ours up with a neighbor's flatbed pick up truck, otherwise? not sure what we'd have done.

After attempting to figure what type of flooring would be best for my crooked basement floor, I could not have found anything better. Your product looks great and was very easy to put down by even a woman. With so many options in patterning, I think the job came out as envisioned.

We used the Slate Flex tiles in our new sunroom and lay them right on top of our concrete slab. My husband started the job and our contractor finished up and both said it was easily done. The floor looks wonderful and is a cinch to clean.

We are very happy with the result!

I purchased the designer series tiles in sand for a breezeway floor that had cracked cement in some places, stick on tiles in other places. These tiles were so easy to install and look beautiful! You'd never know there is an ugly floor under that beautiful tile. You won't regret buying these. The customer service was awesome as well. This is a great company to do business with.

We are very happy with the Slate Flex Designer Series Tile. They were shipped promptly, all were from the same lot and they were very easy to install. We removed the existing carpet which was very hard to keep clean and couldn't be happier with the ease of cleaning of this product. It was a definite upgrade and our basement looks fantastic! Also, Kim was a pleasure to work with. She helped answer all my questions and made sure we got exactly what we ordered.

Great for garage use

This tile was used in the entryway area of my garage. Installation was simple and the floor turned out great. The tile is also very easy to keep clean. The tile does have a very strong rubbery smell to it that takes a few weeks to fade, it's almost a month now since installation and I can still smell a faint smell of rubber. Keep this in mind if you are installing in a living area as you will need adequate ventilation. Otherwise I would have given this product 5 stars.

I just installed 3,000 square feet in my farm/auto shop and it transformed the entire place. Old concrete with stains all over is now a showroom-looking floor. It was a snap to install..incredibly easy and fun! It was a bit of work and took mental discipline to do the edges, but once I figured it out, repetition went pretty fast and I got better and better at it.
I was a bit startled by some of the discoloration on the very top surface, but was relieved to know that this is merely the wax coating put on at the factory. It will be easy to clean and to re-wax whenever necessary.
